Fear not, we're here to help you out! In this post, we'll break down the different routes you can take to make the drive, and provide you with the time it takes based on traffic patterns.

The Fastest Route

If you're looking for speed, the quickest way to get to Weymouth from Beverly is via Route 3 South. Using this route, you'll cover the distance of approximately 30 miles in just about 40 minutes without heavy traffic. Of course, this is in good driving conditions, when there's low to medium traffic. However, if you happen to drive during peak traffic times (weekdays around 8-9 AM and 4-6 PM), the trip can take much longer. Plan on adding an extra hour of travel which leaves you with a total banter time of an hour and forty minutes.

The Longer, Scenic Route

Now, if you're not in a hurry and would like to explore more of the stunning coastline views while driving, there's certainly an option available for you. The somewhat longer scenic route to Weymouth is to take Route 1A South. While this route is longer than Route 3, it offers more breathtaking coastal views, quaint towns, and seaside tourist attractions. The distance of this route is around 37 miles, and it typically takes just over an hour without much traffic. However, driving during peak traffic, you can expect to add up another half-hour driving time.

The Slow-Paced Coastal Route

Do you prefer a laid-back and slow-paced drive? If so, you can take 127 South to reach 3A South to get to your destination. This delightful route enables you to appreciate the beautiful rocky coastline, small fishing communities and picturesque parks along the way. The driving distance for 127 + 3A is 38 miles, which covers nearly 1 hour and 10 minutes under regular conditions. However, you can predict a longer drive once travel during the peak hours.

Now that you know the different options you have to get to Weymouth from Beverly, it's time to choose the one that is best for you based on your schedule and preferences. Do you need to get to your destination quickly? Choose Route 3 South. Want to enjoy the coastal scenic views? Choose 1A South. Looking for a laid-back drive to appreciate the coastal scenery?
